AI is the new scam after crypto, nft, etc. The technology isn’t to blame itself. It can have some useful case for sure.
The real issue is the Market™, the belief in infinite growth. We arrived at the point of no return, where infinite growth is impossible. Humans like to challenge impossible. They will try to find whatever is possible to tackle the impossible. In our case, humans try to create growth artificially with crypto, nft, ai, and all the others. Because, it’s the only way to have a minimalist growth for the shareholders and investors. Billions if not trillions were invested in Google and the others AI companies to milk the last drop for some dividend. Short term dividends should have wrote.
These bad search results are not to serve the general interest. It’s here to serve these investments and return the last profit possible of the dogma of infinity in a finite world. It does indicate how bad the situation became for the economy. They are the cracks leaking the end of an era. They are symptomatic.
It sounds… impossible to defeat this darker side of human nature, in order to grow into a mature species worthy of restoring and responsibly maintaining this garden planet.
I think most humans aren’t like that, it’s just that the ones that are have managed to structure society to reward their behavior. We need to get these vile, greed driven ghouls, out of positions of power to get anywhere.
I can’t remember if it was Asimov or Heinlein (maybe Clarke), but one of them said that an elected official should be drug into office kicking and screaming, and only be allowed to leave when they’ve done a good job.
Lots of humans even with good academia are followers. They follow the mass. It’s not idiotic. If the group does this, it should not be bad or present a risk. It’s quite rational. If people eat apples, it’s safe and I can eat them too.
They use a similar reflexion with our socio-economical system. They follow.
It depends on whom we follow. Here, sociopathy plays a role. They are often more prompt to embrace power and favor selfishness.
Yup. I think this is what always happens when the smart people leave a company and the only people left are “the line must always go up” business idiots who don’t understand what they have or how it works.

The problem is that non-sociopaths don’t seek power. Public service is looked down upon.
Yeah. Like the old adage of whoever seeks power is least deserving of it. It’s a difficult thing to combat.

prolly Heinlein, wierdo sex type, but some useful ideas…

Capitalist ideology is so hardwired into most of us that it seems easier to accept the end of the world than the end of capitalism itself
End of the world? Sounds like the end of capitalism to me. Where do we sign up?
Yup. I think this is what always happens when the smart people leave a company and the only people left are “the line must always go up” business idiots who don’t understand what they have or how it works.
Vividly put
